You referring to extending them forward or out? I have the outward extensions on both the UC and Fat Boy (Soos I think?), and have the forward footboards from HD on the Fat Boy. Love em both too! No pix though, but the Soos come out approximately 3/4" and the floorboards are now forward about 1".

I put the passenger extensions on for my wife. She said is seems to give her more room. I have an 09 so it was important to try moving her left ankle away from the heat. It didn't really help in that regard to much. It does move them out "visually" also which I could do without but she likes not being cramped up. It also puts the passenger floorboards right into your calves. This really isn't comfortable when pushing the bike forward.........so I don't push it very much.....I put it in gear when I need to go forward. No since in pushing this thing anymore than I have to. I got mine from HarleyGoodies but I think those from Soos would be about the same.

We are working on a new patented design to keep them from pushing the passenger boards into you calves. I had one customer complain about this issue and gave him a refund and paid his return shipping.

Thank's for the feedback! I bought my rider extensions from Harley Goodies, so I thought it was only fair to buy the rear extensions from SOOS (bought this morning). Harley Goodies, I'll keep a eye out for your new rear extension design

Thanks for sharing the wealth. I'll be dropping your package in the mail Wednesday.
